Walking

Above: This the street leading from our house to the main road, Calle Principle.

After 2 weeks in San Jose, one of the biggest differences has been walking everywhere we go. We walk to school, to the store, to church, to the ATM, to the bread store, etc. And walking here is no easy thing, there are pot holes, crummy sidewalks, and usually trash stacked up next to the street. Strollers here are an adventure!

One place we’ve really enjoyed is the park that is only a block away. On a typical day, Lucy gets up around 6, we eat eggs, rice, and tortilla’s for breakfast, and she goes down around 8. After her nap, we usually head to one of the afore mentioned stores, and/or go visit the park.

Our park here (Parque Sauces) doesn’t have a play ground but Lucy still loves it. She likes to walk around and play in the grass, sometimes we bring her ball and kick it around, and there are always dogs or other kids for her to watch.
